LEONE LOCAL CHAT.

The City Band played for large
audience Tuesday night, and played
exceedingly we'll. The programme
rendered was one of the finest, and
the listeners gave their recognition
and appreciativer responses all the way
round. They actually talk less 4; and
the kids who reveled in the sand pile
around the music stand were persuad-
ed by Charlie O'Neal to give the Band
a chance. The outlook is promising.
The cultured people who exist here
abouts will after many days grasp
hold of the civilized fact that to gab-
BILE like geese at an open-air concert.
is as gross a violation of courtesy as it
would be lift was an indoor concert.
How long would you sing or talk to
an audience whose gibble-gabble,-
gibble-gabble, drowned the sound of
your own voice? and how much pleas
ure would you derive from your eff
forts to entertain? If you would re-
member that thoughtfulness of 9TH
ers, is the principle that underlies all
the amenities of life, it would not be
difficult to find order everywhere and
every time. The clarinet solo, Home
~ K
Luscomb, was given with all the real
istic and artistic perception that ami
mated the composer, The solo is
most difficult as we'll as beautiful, and
the long continued applause was de-
servedly given, and resulted in Pro-
fessor Luscomb's efficiently repeating
portion of the solo. Programme for
next week.

Talking of music, Mr.. e. C. Stearns,
a native of this county, but who is
now Director of the Orchestra of the
Sd Artillery, U. S. A, at st. Angus
tine. Florida, and who is doubtless
well remembered by many of our citi-
zens, is becoming known in the mu-
steal world as composer. Mr.. Stearns
is well known to Professor Luscomb
and has kindly favored him with sew
eral pieces of music which he has writ
ten for the M. G. Band. The compo-
sitions are very fine, and will be play
ed by the band in the near future, and
will be listened to with interest. We
are always glad to find West Virgin
ians succeeding.
The Harrisburg "Telegram" black
mails THE HERALD in this wise:
Our genial friend, Reilly, whose
MARTINsBURG HERALD is the bright
est paper in West Virginia, knows a
good thing at glance. He gets after
the Telegram in a mplimentary
style, for which we doff our tile and
return hearty thanks.
Somebody else is authority for the
following: Arrived in Martinsburg
last week, young and handsome
lrshman. He took up his headquar-
tiers at the residence of the Editor of
THE HERALD and strange to say,
according to the laws made and pro-
vided, no writ of ejectment will hold
good against the intruder. The Edi-
tor will have to furnish the butter
milk and oatmeal Cruel but he has
the consolation of knowing that he
may in course of time become assist
ant editor of The HERALD. Con-
gratulations.
